    Happy hour menu

    We were shocked! Food was fresh, great tasting. Tried the hummus board and margherita pizza with cauliflower crust. We can't wait to be back to this spot. Food was amazing and house Chardonnay for $6 during happy hour - very smooth. Service was speedy and atmosphere was clean and trendy. A 5-star from me is rare so visit this gem!

    We were very happy with our first experience here. The food was delicious and decent portions. We did wish the feta jalapeño ranch had more of a spice to it but still good. Lots of TVs and space so great to come on a game day. Service was attentive and decently quick. Overall we hope to come back and try more items.

    My sis and her beau are regulars at Local Bar, mainly for their Thursday Steak night. We recently joined them, as my beau is rarely treated to steak since we are a no-red-meat household. :) If you plan to go for steak night - go early, as they sell out. We got there around 8:30 and just one steak remained. The Local Bar is a stone's throw away from Local Table. I'm no stranger to Local Table (in Cypress and Garden Oaks), and the menu offers some familiar items (hummus, burgers) but also some variety that you won't find at the restaurant, like skillet wings. Full bar, TVs will all the sports, high top and booth seating, and so many neighborhood locals, it's indeed "The" Local Bar, but with elevated food and drinks...

    Basil gimlet

    Local bar is casual, without an overly "sports bar" feel. Great location for Towne Lake and Bridgeland residents. They have some of the same menu items as Local Table, so the food is really good. The craft cocktails are always nice, too. I got the basil gimlet (pictured) and the blueberry martini. Both were excellent.

    First time trying out this establishment and I had a Fabulous time with great service as well. The atmosphere was relaxing and fun at the same time and the food was amazing. I can't wait to go back:)

    Nestled right next-door to local table, local bars where you go to get your bar food fix The giant pretzel is amazing!! Just like you would expect from a baseball, football game, or county fair, it really hit the spot that night. Great selection of beers and spirits. The staff is amazing! The bartenders and waitresses are always extremely friendly and attentive. The place is usually pretty clean, considering it is specifically a bar. You actually see employees from local table over to local bar to help out or to get specific drinks made. I love coming coming. here, especially since it is walking distance. Rock solid five stars.

    Old Fashioned at Local Bar

    It's not quite the place "where everybody knows your name", but it is close enough. Good ambiance, friendly smiles, and not the usual bar food. Their Old Fashioned is a hit and I was impressed with the detail put into them with their logo branded in the large ice cube. I had the Buffalo Chicken Sliders and will be sure to ask for them again. I have brought my wife, and my best friend and both were pleased with the food, drinks, and the service.

    Chocolate martini. Dessert on point!

    The Local Bar is, in all its glory, my actual local bar. Its the fresh food, heavy pours, and hand crafted cocktails that keep bringing me back. It doesn't matter if it's for a quick bite or a several hour, much needed social therapy session with my crew -- this is my go to spot. What to try: hummus board, pizza, burger. Their food menu was recently consolidated so there are less options but I'm not complaining. Thursday nights are my favorite because it's Steak Night. $23 gets you a beautiful steak and either side of fries or a salad. Go with the salad - it's really good. The plate is big enough to split if you're not too hungry or decide to order something else. The Brussels are fixed exactly like next door at Local Table and IYKYK (order them). If you decide to come as a large group on the weekend I recommend calling ahead of time as they offer live music and it can get busy. Service is always good but especially when Warren is behind the bar. Come as you are because there's nothing pretentious going on here.

    First time here. Just stumbled upon this place. Very grateful I did. Will come back for sure. I…read morehad a club sandwich that was delicious. You may say "but it's just a sandwich " but it was still great. The service was excellent and the people were very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back soon. Try it out.

    Found this spot next to my local HEB & wanted to give it a try, the wings caught my attention they…read morelooked so good on the reviews so here we are trying it. This spot is small and new so not that many customers, but we were still greeted with lots of love and kindness, especially our waitress she was so nice and patient with us. We got started with the cheese fries to snack on and sadly I didn't get a picture because they looked so good and they were so good and crispy and super cheesy. Now for the food we all ordered wings and a classic burger, the burger was juicy and flavorful which caught me by surprise. The wings were huge nothing compared to the small wings at wingstop, but I was kinda disappointed the mango habanero was not spicy or had any flavor to what mango habanero should taste like. We had asked for spicy lemon pepper but it wasn't on the menu but the waitress told us to not worry they will make it work, but when we got to try them it was a whole different flavor it was sweet and not even spicy or lemony which was confusing but we still ate them hahah, I'll just know next time I'll stick to a flavor I know, now the fries omg they were one of the best fries I've tried, so crispy and seasoned I was just munching on the fries. Overall the ambiance was chill and quiet waitress was lovely, the food well it's good but the flavors is what threw me off but I will definitely be back for a burger some good fries and a chill lunch spot to just hang out.

    First time visit to this small and excellent restaurant…read more Located at the corner of Fry Road and Mound Road it has a restaurant seating area of about 50 and a large bar area for 20 more. The menu is short but includes most of the classics. I had the Seafood Tacos and my wife had the Chicken Mole Enchilada. The tacos were surrounded by a flour tortilla (corn is also available) with fish that can be grilled or steamed. Packed with flavor from the onions, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and more I enjoyed every last bite. The plate included rice, beans, and sliced red onion. Delicious My wife loved her selection as well. The serving was big enough to take home what was not consumed allowing her an extra day to enjoy the mole. We also ordered a side of guacamole which was served as a huge rounded scoop on a plank. Don't get me started on the chips we used to eat every last bit of the guacamole. When we told our waiter, Jose, how much we liked the chips he gave us a bag to take home! I had some today and they were still crunchy with a hint of salt. Now to drinks: my wife had the house Pinot Grigio and I the house margarita which I ordered frozen with no salt. The margarita had a clear lime note but did not suffer from it. All in all we agreed that Carmelita's deserves a return visit next time Mexican food is our choice.

    Usually excellent. Tonight sucked!…read more Tonight came in and sat at the bar. Ignored for 10 minutes so we got up and left. Weren't many people there. They HAVE to do something about the smell from the Nail Salon next door that permeates everything and actually makes me nauseous.
